Here's a re-worked photo of the Louvre Museum in Paris taken from the Tuileries garden in 2009. The part of the building that you see on the left is the Pavillon Marsan. These days, the view is very different; a giant Ferris wheel sits on this spot.
This morning we're down to -2.8ºC outside, so far. It's probably the lowest temperature we've had in the current cold spell. We got our heating fuel delivery on Wednesday, but it was not without stress. Our delivery window (07h00 to 13h00) came and went. I called after that and the customer service rep told me they were experiencing many delays (beaucoup de retards) but that they'd be here soon. Just as I gave up hope at 17h00, the truck rolled up. The driver seemed frazzled, but was otherwise in good spirits. I'm sure the cold spell has people scrambling to get more fuel oil and the company is scrambling to accommodate them. All's well that ends warm.
Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the fuel arrived. I’m looking forward to being home and complaining about 12C.
ReplyDeleteBrrr!
ReplyDeleteI’m with Mitchell, complaining about 15C. Glad you got the fuel.
